Abstract

Objectives: to investigate correlation between electrolyte imbalance at admission and long-term prognosis. Material and methods: the research based on the data of physical examination, laboratory and instrumental investigation of 111 consecutive patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure (HF), III-IV functional class NYHA. Results: Mean age 71±12 years; 44,1% were males; 64,0% had emergency admission (IV functional class NYHA), mean left ventricular ejection fraction 41±15%. Electrolyte imbalance at admission was presented in 33,3% of patients. Multivariable survival analysis revealed 2,33-fold independently increased relative risk of all-cause mortality for the patients with electrolyte imbalance at admission [HR 2,33; 95% CI 1,19-7,70; p=0,0201]. Conclusion: in patients hospitalized for decompensated HF, electrolyte imbalance at admission is a predictor of unfavorable prognosis and increased a year mortality.
